LOL... I thought your post was funny. My wife actually likes the Asura and has renewed her interest in the game. I'm sure she will make an Asura when GW2 is released. So if she likes it that means more GW time for me. I like Asura now.

pretty cool, you probably get like a little checklist of all the stuff you've earnt and can pick up to like 5 on say heros adn like 10 on weapons to show. should be cool
the armor thing should be interesting. my mate doesnt buy full sets of armor becuase he doesnt like how it looks. hes not going to get his mouments lol and this also means i gotta buy some stupid sandels for my 15k judges....

yeh, i did notice that camera thing to center on the different heros. may be a dev command like i beleve he was also using cheat codes. What was he typing in at different points in the game?

However, regarding the HoM....how much space do you get to display your achievements? As an example, I have at least 8 characters that have at least 2 sets of 15k armour, and a couple more with one set each......there didn't look like much space on the table for 15k armour sets.....or unlocked heroes, for that matter.....plenty of space for mini-pets though....

I guess it depends if it's account based or character based. My guess is that titles that are account based will be in every characters HoM, but titles/items/etc that are character based will be seperate.

I can't wait to make a norn. The video was pretty interesting.

Ohh nice, I thought only playing in dungeons would make me depressed as hell, with my claustrophobia kicking in, but you also get to play outside

I want the Charr hero! I always liked Zhed because he was different than a human, and now we also get a Charr! Asura looks funny, too, but the Charr will be my favourite!

And yay for mini games, I hope they're really fun and rewarding :3

The Norn appear to me as nothing more than a BIG human, not very exotic as a race by itself. So if I were to play GW2 what would be the benefit of playing a Human compared with the option of a Norn? I guess that will be something yet to be seen. I would hope, outside of the Large size, there is or will be a some distinct difference between the two races.

One thing I find interesting is how ANET catered to the desires of the communities to create a game where the three most suggested theme's are included in this expansion. I am referring to the player requested Mayan theme culture, Viking type theme culture and a return to Ascalon type theme adventure all at the same time.

Nice work overall ANET you do listen to the players and I can't wait to play GWEN.

Well first off Norns can transform into giant bear like beasts. They will also probably have more strength and defense than a human.

There is no way to argue with flawless logic, such as this.

Did anyone else notice that the NPC's now talk (not talking about in cutscenes)?

Finally! It is a small addition, but it will definitly make the game more enjoyable. If you didn't notice it, the Asura says something in town when Ben goes into the Polymock game (I think) and the same happens when he talks to a Norn.

And the graphics look great as well.

I'm gonna rent the Gremlins movie, and name my Asura from it. Just because I think it's funny. XD

I hope the burning trees will set me on fire when I take a rest leaning against one.
I'd like to come back from a coffee break to see my little guy writhing on the ground.
I don't know why.

BTW, that Asuran hero reminds me of Spike the Gremlin.
